i'm still blogging about my birthday...

haa. i really think i'm blessed with good luck.
was supposed to go swimming with mr kar around noon today, but i woke up feelin' very lazy and i prayed and hoped that it'd rain ('coz the sun was hot and high up in the skies in the morning). so i cancelled the swimming date with mr kar and came online. and ahHa! it's really raining now! thank goodness i wasn't in the mood to swim, if not i'd be damn disappointed.. and thank goodness i was feelin' lazy, if not i'd be stuck outside by the pool, in the heavy rain! phew...


alrighty, so here i am, gonna blog about my birthday still.
and i got pics!!!


tata~





mr kar brought his chocolate fondue set over! and we waited for ages for the chocolate to melt... but it was still fun! strawberry dipped in chocolate.. wOOoOooo...




there were two big bowls of strawberries and green apples, how on earth are we able to finish everything?!?!
and so, we covered the remaining strawberries with chocolate, and kept them in the refrigerator, so that i can still eat them at night! hahaa..



oh, kar said strawberries look like human noses, infested with lotsa blackheads.. YUCKS!!
very gross, mr kar.. and you ate lotsa them!!







And off we go....................... ................

........... to the Esplanade!!

haha.. and here's kar with different expressions...


it's dinner time!!!!

okay, i really liked the skirt that i wore, and i was perfectly happy with my top too... i was expecting to dine in a high-class restaurant, enjoying the food in a romantic ambience... and i did not mind paying alot. 'coz i'm the birthday girl!! and it was my day! but.... alright, i was the one who chose the restaurant, so there's no one to blame. the food were great too, actually. BUT!!! it was totally unGlam...

Shima Aji Japanese Restaurant @ Esplanade, Colours of the Bay

why unGlam???
'coz we ate the Yakiniku buffet.. OUTSIDE...

and then... we went home, to cut the lovely cake kar baked for me!!








hey i'm twenty!!! why only one candle?????






yeah~ so that was how i spent my July 27!
with lotsa fooddddddddd.... =)






and the next day, July 28, i had a birthday treat from Yenny, @ Sushi Tei.



that's actually my first time there. and i dare say, it's so much better than Sakae and Genki!!!! i've always thought there Sushi Tei'd be kinda expensive.. but NOT AT ALL! reasonable pricing, and nice food as well.


this looks nice, yea???
i like the bowl! haa. and it's only for six or eight bucks, i think.

it's always nice to meet up with old friends, yea.
it feels great to know that the strong friendship bond is still there even if you don't meet up often..

and yenny's amazing!! knowing her way around sg even though she's not a sg'rean!! haa. and she helped me to find my way around Marina Sq (after it's renovation). i will not get lost anymore! dear kar, don't worry. i will not bring you the wrong way and walk in big circles ever again.. Just follow me..



Yen brought me to the foodcourt, where the desserts are niceeeeeeee!
and they have Samy's Curry there too. haa. i wonder if it's nice.

and from the foodcourt, you can catch a splendid view of the surrounding...
from where we sat, we could see this..

the sun was setting.. how nice!

opps.. chloeee said she can't even see the sun, so how i know it was setting???
haha 'coz i took the pic at around seven in the evening.. so obviously i know the sun was setting.. and where was the sun??? ermmm... must be behind those durian shells!!!! haa.


okay, that's all i have..
i'm feeling happy now 'coz i'm gonna get the zara bag later!!! yipeeeeeeeee!

more mahjong, anyone?????????????????
